so far.

embedded RTOS

That sounds like a domain where memory safety is secondary to size and speed… though compile time memory safety guarantees could help.

Good thing we have so many options!

Like riding a motorcycle in a tee shirt and shorts.

Not providing any indication that clicking/touching a UI element will trigger an action. Especially on a touch screen.

I have to assume that everything is a button that will do something stupid on every website now.

Fuck C and it’s lazy shit pointer arithmetic array indexing shortcut. I.e. you just add the index × size(t) to the array pointer.

Bounds checking? We’ve heard of it.

All our colloquialisms and such like are still rooted in the old units.

I suppose we might say “fuel economy” but only if we’re trying to sound fancy.

Those damned monkeys…

You’re creeping around in the dark, already on a knife edge… oooh oooh aaah.

Yes.

Well, mostly apples.

Because they’re evil. Rather, they don’t place the same constraints on themselves that a good person places on themselves.

Uhn-jun-uhks in NZ TYVM.

Oh yeah.

The night dive remake of System Shock was awesome.

I played the original as a kid and it was just too hard. I also played SS2 and completed that: my gods that was a terrifying game.

I can’t wait.

Come to New Zealand. It’s nice here.
